About The Artwork

I took a foto of a shadow cast on the sidewalk and then picked out this small segment, blew it up to maximize the pixels blurring around the spearlike shapes, reminding me of the tropical art deco fabrics and pictures that were popular when I was a child. The first print impression was in black, but then I turned to orange and red, making the spears seem like fire, a fire that came to life in the dead of winter. It is one of a varied edition of 30 prints

My work often draws on urbane imagery, particularly the scruffy, mundane details passersby barely notice. I take a digital photo, transform it with Photoshop, and then transfer the altered image onto a photopolymer plate. The subject might be tire treads, cracks in the pavement, shadows on a wall; when they’re transformed - in fact, when they’re even noticed - they take on aspects that are other worldly, even religious. Now I want to say something about drawing, because it is such a natural human impulse. There is something spontaneous in the touch of pencil to paper; a drawing can take the fleeting blush of inspiration and nail it to the picture plane. The challenge lies in knowing what to put in, what to leave out -- and when to stop. The result is an economy of expression, i.e., to say a great deal with little. If an oil painting is a concerto, then a drawing is improvised jazz - and it happens to be an improvisational form that flows into my printmaking practice. The figurative, quasi-portraiture you see in some of my prints started as drawings; like my photos, they were translated to this medium I find so plastic, challenging, forgiving.
